This sounds similar to the PHY problem we had.  We had the wrong phy
support code in, so it looped forever waiting for a busy bit to clear
that meant something else in the other PHY.

If it dies later, your only option may be to do a binary search to see
if it dies before or after this point or that point and refine the
bounds of the search until you've located the problem.  This means
you'll need to build and burn many images to the flash you have.

I wish I could help you more but (a) you are using redboot (b) I've
never had to debug it and (c) the board specific code is so customized
for the specific hardware it is nearly impossible for me to do
anything but guess and wildly speculate.  Sorry.

Now, if you were using the boot loader I wrote...
